I need help to create an AppleScript to autoclicking.
I just started using AppleScript, so there is still a lot of things I don't know. Currently, I'm doing a script where I can click in an infinite loop / repeat. I received this understood part and now I want to step up a notch by making a condition where in when I right click with my mouse, I'll be able to enable / disable this script. Or even shut down the loop with a right click. In addition, I would also add a bonus dialog box once I finished the script by right-clicking.
Here's my working process.
say application "System events".
-a loop (# repeat, repeat times)
repeat 10 times
-trigger system event are asked to use the button code 87 (left click on the mouse)
say application 'System events' in the key code 87
delay 1
end Repeat
end say
-Right click
say application 'System events' to code key of {command down} 87
-closing of the script
display the dialog box "Do you want to exit this script?" buttons {"Exit", "Continue"} default button 1
If result = {return button: "Exit"} then
return
end if
The upper part of the script, this is what I mentioned the first where I get an infinite loop to the left, click the mouse button. The two scripts from the bottom is what I would like to integrate the above script to get the result I want. An infinite loop with condition (right click) to disable the script and a message if poster after the script has stopped.
Hi Cloud4846. One option is to create a small utility to detect a mouse button for use in an AppleScript script. Copy and paste the following in a text editor Swift code as text Sublime and record your desktop with a file extension .swift using a name such as mouse.swift:
import of Foundation
import AppKit
TranslateButtonState(buttonState: Int)-> {String Func
If (buttonState == 1 < < 0) {return "left" ;}
If (buttonState == 1 < < 1) {return 'right' ;}
go back to 'none '.
}
buttonState var = NSEvent.pressedMouseButtons)
Print (TranslateButtonState (ButtonState))
With Xcode installed, compile the code above with the Swift compiler in Terminal using the following command, which places the binary file in usr:
xcrun - sdk macosx swiftc ~/Desktop/mouse.swift o/usr/local/bin/mouse
You can test the utility in a Terminal before control of the mouse with a delay and press left mouse button to the right:
sleep 1; mouse
Output returned is one of the 'left', 'right' or 'none '. The utility also works with a finger or two mechanical depression of a trackpad for the primary and the secondary finger click respectively.
You can use the utility in an AppleScript script to display a dialog box message when a mouse button is released, in this example the right button of the mouse. Keep in mind it's because of the single-threaded nature AppleScript and that the 'do shell script' in the loop with delay, is really only practical with time short longer times require holding down the mouse button longer:
Tell application "system events".
Repeat 10 times
the mouseDown value (the shell script ' / usr/local/bin/mouse ")
If mouseDown = "right" then
button code 87
dialogue box "Do you want to exit this script?" the default button buttons {'Exit', 'Continue'} 1
If result = {return button: "Exit"} then
return
end if
on the other
delay 0.5
button code 87
delay 0.5
end if
end repeat
tell the end
Instead of using a mouse button down event to trigger a dialog box, you can use a key as a modifier key. Copy and paste the code Swift following in a text editor and save it to your desktop with a file extension .swift using a name such as modKeys.swift:
import of Foundation
import AppKit
TranslateModifierFlags(modifierFlags: NSEventModifierFlags)-> {String Func
Let rawModifierFlags = modifierFlags.rawValue
var pressedButtons = [System.Security.Permissions.SecurityPermission
If ((rawModifierFlags & NSEventModifierFlags.ControlKeyMask.rawValue)! = 0) {pressedButtons.append ("Control")}
If ((rawModifierFlags & NSEventModifierFlags.AlternateKeyMask.rawValue)! = 0) {pressedButtons.append ("Option")}
If ((rawModifierFlags & NSEventModifierFlags.ShiftKeyMask.rawValue)! = 0) {pressedButtons.append ("Shift")}
If ((rawModifierFlags & NSEventModifierFlags.CommandKeyMask.rawValue)! = 0) {pressedButtons.append ("Command")}
If (pressedButtons.count > 0) {}
return pressedButtons.joinWithSeparator("")
}
go back to 'none '.
}
var modifierFlags = NSEvent.modifierFlags)
Print ((modifierFlags) TranslateModifierFlags)
With Xcode installed, compile the code above with the Swift compiler in Terminal using the following command, which places the binary file in usr:
xcrun - sdk macosx swiftc ~/Desktop/modKeys.swift o/usr/local/bin/modKeys
You can test the utility in a Terminal before control of the mouse with a delay and pressing one of the four control, Option, shift, and control modifier keys individually or in combination:
sleep 1; modKeys
Output returned is one or more of 'Control', 'Option', 'Shift' and 'order '. An example of the usefulness and the SHIFT key, used in an Applescript script:
Tell application "system events".
Repeat 10 times
the keyDown value (the shell script ' / usr/local/bin/modKeys ")
If keyDown = 'Shift' then
button code 87
dialogue box "Do you want to exit this script?" the default button buttons {'Exit', 'Continue'} 1
If result = {return button: "Exit"} then
return
end if
on the other
delay 0.5
button code 87
delay 0.5
end if
end repeat
tell the end
More appropriate to use modifier keys are shift and Option.

Hi, I recently bought numbers in order to create a commercial newspaper. I'm the pen and paper. I need help to create a formula. A purchase column; Determines if the entry price column is subtracted from the price of output column (buy) or subtracted from (Sell) entry exit. Thank you for your help
Hi B',.
Buying and selling in column B
Price of entry in column c.
Exit in column D price
Formula (and outcome) in column E
If the column will B always contained 'Buy' or 'Sell', it works. It is default to a calculation of 'sell' if sale or has been specified.
E2: = IF (B = "Buy", D - C, C - D)
If you want to delay the calculation until the amounts entered in C and D, use this version:
E2: = IF (OR (LEN (C) < 1, LEN (D) < 1,"", IF (B = "Buy", D - C, C - D) ")
If you want to delay the calculation until all three ducks are on a line (B contains buy or sell, C and D contain both data), use this version:
E2: = IF (OR (LEN (C) < 1, LEN (D) < 1,"", IF (B = "Buy", D - C, IF(B="Sell",C-D,) "" ")))
Third version used in this table.

Need help to create a count up animation
Hello. I'm new (ish) FlashCS6 and need help to create a timing of the animation. I'm fine with a general flash animation, but have never really used action script, are not my hand holding a little. any help would be great.
Basically, I have 12 scenes someone is going through their daily lives by buying items and at the end of each scene I have a small graph of cash that opens - I need then of numbers to animate quickly count for example, from £ 0 to £369 for a few seconds.
Thanks in advance
Chris
The toFixed() method should do what you need. By my previous code example...
cashGraphic.cashDisplay.text = ' £' + cashValue.toFixed (2);
The toFixed method returns a string value, so you don't have to cast one in coding as I showed earlier.

Need help to create a scrollbar in HTML table
Hello dreamweavers!
I need help here please...
I need to create a table with three columns... or a webpage... that has the ability to scroll when things are added.
This is a music site and page Web will be a list - a database of all sorts - of each title artist and album. If there are say, 200 titles in the catalog, then I need to list them all on one page and in 3 columns towards the bottom of the page. What I did using a table in HTML in Dreamweaver. The problem is each title on the table is static and when adding in a new title in the catalog, ALL securities will have to be moved manually. So, I need to create a table where when I add another title (they will be alphabetical) say to am' for example, then all of the other titles will be automatically moves along a (somewhat as in a Word document by adding a new line). Everything else is automatically shifted. I don't know if this is still possible in Dreamweaver?I hope that I have explained this correctly. It's quite a strange problem, and as such, I have been unable to find anything on this forum or google search.
If anyone can help that would be most excellent! I'd be happy.Questions - if you need further information please ask

Mylenium was right. You must use a database for this server-side.
Maintenance of static tables with this amount of data is going to be a logistical nightmare - not even worth considering. Get an indexing plugin for WordPress.

Need help to create a custom connector
I need help on developing custom Homegrown application connector and the version I use is OIM9.0.3
First of all, what are the steps we need care while developing a custom connector.
I can't able to find the process in google to develop the custom connector.
If you have all data related to the development of the connector custom, please share to me...
What are the thing we need to take care while developing the connector.
I spoke in the version OIM9.1 there is a possibility to develop the custom connector using the Genric technology, we can create the custom connector using the IOM GTC 9.1 feature
early response will be appreciatedI think the approach to take here will depend to a large extent what are the characteristics of the request of the House. Where it stores its user and the right information? It exposes an API or perhaps the database tables that you can use for commissioning?
In general, you need to create the following in IOM:
(1) a Type of COMPUTER resource
(2) a COMPUTER resource
(3) a resource object
(4) a form of customized process
(5) a procurement process
(6) task of process adapters (allows to really reach out to the target application and perform commissioning activities)Please come back with more information on what you are trying to integrate with and I can give you hope that some other points.

I need help to create an e-newsletter
I learned, I can create an e-newsletter with graphics and a header using Adobe Dreamweaver, but I have no idea where to start. It will be impossible for a person with few computer skills (someone like me)?
I use Dreamweaver CS4.
Thanks for any help.
[Thread moved to general Discussion Dreamweaver forum]
Do you mean by "a few computer skills" you have no knowledge of web design, then you will not be able to create a newsletter with Dreamweaver. Dreamweaver is a professional tool for web site designers or other people at least the basics of html and css.
If you have some basics of html and css, or are willing to learn (there are plenty of tutorials online), you can use DW to help you create the room of email marketing. Here are some links that will give you some information about creating email marketing documents:

Need help with iTunes duplicate Applescript.
Hello
I found this script that works great with iTunes automatically duplicates deleting. Something that I had wanted for a long time.
I use Lion with the older version of ITunes, so I really need this script to work.
It is an import script that helps me sync my music library to my home office with my nightclub iTunes library. The only problem I have with this script is that it does not keep this last recorded double track. I want to keep the last tracks because sometimes I replace a track with a better record of video or audio clip. I would like to change this script to just base duplicates on the artist, Album artist, and name. I hope that someone with apple great capabilities of script can check the script and help me adjust. I tried to contact Randolf who created the script, but he did not. Here is his magnificent scenario. I'm sure that many people will find this useful. I hope someone can help me. I am very limited in my applescripting.

Remove the Script duplicates ITunes
(*
This small script detects and removes duplicates in your iTunes library. Two tracks are considered duplicates if they share the same name of the track, the artist and the title of the album. If these 3 fields are the same, all the tracks except for one can be deleted. In addition, the game account and group entries are "merged."
You can also use the account manager to remove duplicates in any other selection as the main library.
You can enable or disable the registry deleted. Logging goes to the "logFile.txt" in your home folder.

Need help to create a storage report/monitoring
vFoglight V 6.1
So our storage has been really slow lately by some of our virtual machine crawl. Whenever I talk to our team of storage, that they speak for EMC and the answer is BUY new more fast/drives or take VM off the LUNS are getting slammed. Well that's fine, but now I have a few LUNS with more space free 300Gig because they can not will not try and work with me to find a solution.
I need to create a report and monitor my LUN so that they show that last year the "slowness" was getting worse. Just storage model reports show stats 'space' unless I'm not totally see models of storage performance.
Y at - there someone here who can lead me in the right direction to create reports of storage/performance problems? Is there some sort of pre canned reports, I do not see or a 'cartridge', I'm missing here?
I'd love some help here... Thank youHello
The reason why you get n/a, it is that the data do not exist. Queue length data are only available once we deployed agents OS like VMware does not provide this in a meaningful way (I am happy check if you can show me otherwise) monitoring. Disk latency information should however be available but only for the host ESX 4 and vCenter 2.5 U4 and later as this was the point where she became exposed.
.
I also encourage you to take a look at vFoglight storage, if you want to enter more deeply into the fabric of storage.
